Fans of Kanye West have had quite the month: As we discussed in the last Darts & Laurels of January, the pre-release hype leading up to the Saturday release of his new album, “The Life of Pablo,” has been rife with petty Twitter feuds, grandiose promises and more fits and starts than college students begrudgingly trying to write their term papers. The PR campaign — if it could even be called that — reached its manic climax last Thursday, when the album premiered alongside West’s clothing line at the Yeezy Season 3 fashion event in Madison Square Garden.

With the upcoming voter registration deadline Tuesday, now is the time to become politically engaged. With increased voter turnout, young voters can show they care about politics and actually want their voice to be heard. While issues like Social Security and Medicare are important, young Americans won’t have to confront these for quite some time. In fact, it’s not just far off in terms of years: Many young people think it’s irrelevant to them because these programs likely won’t be around when they are older. Despite this, decisions made by politicians enter every facet of our lives, whether the impact is direct or not. According to a poll conducted by USA Today and Rock the Vote, “Only a third say they’re likely to vote in the Republican primaries. Four in 10 say they’re likely to vote in the Democratic primaries. Six in 10 say they are likely to vote in November.”
